REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PAY

Ref: FPS #05, Section 130, Item E

  • This form is used for paying honorariums, consultants, independent contractors, and short term employees.
  • When paying an individual you must first determine if he/she is an independent contractor or an employee by reviewing the certification statements on the reverse.
  • For independent contractors, complete the form as indicated and have the department head approve the form, sign the certifications on the reverse, and route the form to Business Affairs.
  • For persons determined to be employees, complete as indicated, attach the necessary information, code it 195, and route to Personnel.
  • Regular employees cannot be paid via T-27 while employed or as an independent contractor for six months after termination.
  • For independent contractors, we must have a contract for payments exceeding $1,000/day or $12,000 total per year.
  • The form must be completely filled out.
  • Be sure to include the home address and SS# for individuals. Non Resident Aliens (NRAs) must have a SS# or ITIN.
  • Be sure to include the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for companies.
  • The Treasurer's Office resists returning checks to us because it requires special handling. Therefore, don't request the check to come back here unless we have a contract that requires it.
  • For those cases that do require the check to be returned here, allow at least two weeks for that to happen. Put a note under the address on the T-27. *Please return check to Business Affairs, @ UT Martin and highlight it.

    The T-27 form can be found here.
